Three Yankees Relievers Set to Break Out in 2017

The New York Yankees “Scranton Shuttle” was largely a failure for the second straight season. Out of the 10 rookie pitchers who made their debut in 2016, only Luis Cessa found consistent success, and that was as a starter.

On the whole, the bullpen was a strength for the team in 2016. No Runs-DMC was dominant in the first half of the season before being dissembled. After the trade deadline, New York received strong performances from newly acquired veterans Tyler Clippard, Adam Warren, and Tommy Layne.
